Should communists support the actor's strike? (lemmy.world)

I support the writer's guild strike because they are not part of the bourgeoisie. The same can't be said of a lot of these rich actors who own a ton of capital themselves. So on the one hand, it kind of seems like the bourgeoisie is fighting the bourgeoisie on this one. On the other hand, not every actor in the guild is as successful as Tom Cruise, so some of those striking actors are working class.

If you do not control the capital, no matter how rich you are, you cannot be part of the bourgeoisie.

This presumes that the richer ones won't still carry the bougie's water like they do control capital, though. Richie fucks don't often step down off the gilded plinth, in my experience.

Most of the rich actors that I’ve seen seem to be pretty supportive of this strike luckily, not sure how long that will hold though
